TIMES, TRENDS & FAITH*

*TIMES, TRENDS & FAITH*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"* (Luke 18:7-8 (KJV)) 

_Bible Insight:_

One reason why it seems that majority of Christians on social media by virtue of what they believe, are unserious is that many many serious, stable and balanced believers are NOT on social media. They simply don't have the time or tendency or interest to facebook or tweet or gram etc regularly.

I know there are some of you who will read the above and think - Why don't they??? That's what we are talking about!!! Believers need to take over territories!! Any believer who is not on social media is unserious!!! Then they have no right to complain about the wrong influence of the media on......"

You'd better not even go there. Some of you who say these things cannot remember the last time you read your Bible or had daily fellowship with God everyday for one week. You don't even know Philemon is a book in the Bible. You cannot remember the last time you heard God....but you are always on social media. You should keep quiet. Even you cannot influence anything the kingdom way. You are probably being influenced and you don't know it

These people I'm talking about may not be on Twitter but everyone is the office knows that they fear God. They have several people who have come to know God through them. Some of them have won hundreds of souls to Christ this year, both in the villages and in cities like Lagos. They are always in the place of intercession. Between the office and home, they are praying for one widow or one drug addict they are planning to visit at the weekend. 

These are Jesus lovers who come online to look for prayer points. They read and receive burdens and not just have a good time. And off they go to groan, for individuals, for God's servants, for the church, for the nation. They simply have no time for tiktok. You may be far more online than them but their impact in Heaven and on earth will outweigh yours by far.

It was Elijah who thought he was the last godfearing man standing, and it was God who told him He had seven thousand others. These believers are many. Several of them are on social media, some active and some passive; but there are so many of them who are hardly, if ever on social media, at all - but who are full of grace and understanding and standing for God.

*MEDITATION:*
*Apart from exclusive groups, social media is the public. It is a public space. It is like walking on the streets. It is not even the church. Apart from crusades and evangelism campaigns, believers don't meet on the streets. For that you have to walk or drive in and enter the meeting place. Likewise, there is a lot of solid Christianity and faith outside of what you see generally on facebook and twitter.* *Just so you know.*

WELCOME TO MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

Image
*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

Image
*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
